Your wedding day is one of the most important milestones in your life. And that means finding the perfect venue is at the heart of making it everything you’ve ever dreamed of…
To help you, we’ve put together our Top 5 tips for choosing the perfect wedding venue.
Here’s the countdown…
Planning your wedding is super exciting! But finding the right venue for your wedding should always be your first priority…
Popular places like the Hythe Imperial Hotel can book up quickly, especially during peak wedding season. So starting your search early is a good idea to get the date you want!
But booking early is about more than just availability. It also gives you the time to plan every other aspect of your day, from the flowers and décor to the guestlist. But you need the venue first, before you can even think about any of that.
So perhaps, don’t leave things too long. Get ahead of the crowd and ensure your wedding date is reserved at one of the best wedding venues in Kent – like the Hythe Imperial.
That said – we can still help with last-minute weddings when gaps appear in our calendar – so it’s always worth getting in touch, either way!
While it’s tempting to rely on glossy brochures and beautiful photos online, nothing compares to visiting a wedding venue in person.
Here at the Hythe Imperial, we hold wedding venue open days throughout the year. At these events you can explore our beautiful wedding spaces and rooms, meet our friendly wedding team and picture your big day in detail.
When you look around our hotel, you can see first hand how it all feels – because it’s not just about looks. It’s about the atmosphere, the layout and if you can imagine yourself getting married here.
Can you picture saying “I do” under a picturesque gazebo, or enjoying your first dance in a grand Ballroom under twinkling lights?
A visit lets you answer these questions and more!
So if you’re newly engaged, why not book a visit or attend one of our wedding open days? It’s the best way to ensure that our venue ticks all the right boxes for you both.
Sometimes wedding planning can feel at little overwhelming, with lots of details to organise and your budget to balance…
This is where wedding venue packages can make a world of difference.
Not only do they save time and stress, but they also offer excellent value by including lots of things you need for your big day.
At the Hythe Imperial, our wedding packages in Kent can include everything from your ceremony and reception to catering and selected drinks, all in one straightforward price.
Most packages even include an overnight stay for the happy couple in one of our luxurious rooms, so you can unwind in style after the celebrations.
Choosing a wedding package ensures that nothing is overlooked – and mean you can focus on what really matters – celebrating your love with family and friends.
When selecting a wedding venue, it’s easy to get caught up in the small details, but sometimes there are some practical things to think about…
For example – what will your guests do at the end of the night?
Choosing a venue with on-site accommodation is a thoughtful touch that means everyone can fully enjoy your special day.
And as an award-winning hotel, we’re proud to offer luxurious guest rooms. Your family and friends can dance the night away without worrying about travelling home or leaving early – and no taxis or designated drivers!
It’s just another way to make your wedding even more special.
It goes without saying – outdoor weddings are undeniably romantic. But the great British weather can sometimes be unpredictable, even in summer!
That’s why it’s we think it’s a good shout to choose a venue that offers a flexible Plan B.
At the Hythe Imperial, you can exchange your vows in our large gardens and gazebo, with the sea breeze creating an unforgettable setting. But if the weather takes a turn, there’s no need to worry.
Our elegant indoor spaces will be on standby to host your ceremony or reception at a moment’s notice – ensuring your day runs smoothly – no matter what.
With this level of flexibility, you can relax and enjoy the planning process, knowing that your venue has you covered. It’s one less thing to worry about!
Choosing the right wedding venue is about more than just ticking boxes – it’s about finding a place that speaks to your heart.
And as one of the top wedding venues in Kent, the Hythe Imperial Hotel offers a magical blend of elegance and charm, making it the perfect choice for couples planning their special day.
